the forest primeval, and the murmuring pines

res peetable and beautiful second growth is
there" Though the definition of primeval in

suited il by telepbone) it says-PrimeNai: be-

let me say that there are still many large trees
left on the point of the old growth, unless the
'.yandaI axe" has been at work since the first
of JuIy-trees that were there when my father
was IA boy and my grandfather was . young

spruce and gray birch, and it is hoped that they
may remain for generations to come.

LAKE CRYSTAL, Dec. II.
This town was Thoroughly aroused this
afternoon over the finding of Allie Mer.
rill, an adopted child of M. E. Merrill
in an unconscious condition. The child
is nine years of age and seems to have
left home about ten O'Clock in the morn
ing and not returning Mrs. Merrill sem
her son Milton to look for her. The
boy says that he followed the tracks o.
the child and found her in a boat lyins
near the shore of Crystal Lake. The
child's head was under the seat in the
back part of the boat, her arms folded
on her breast and her feet drawn uT
under herself. The position was such
as the child could not have taken of bel
own accord. Milton Merrill did not re-
move her on finding her but went and
called some men who found the child il
the position described. The girl is un
able TO give any account of herself
Speculation is rife as to who placed the
child in that place and for what purpose
The 'Town Board" will be asked to in
yestigate the case.

ANOTHER Republican presidential can
didate has been added TO the lists If he
was not already there-General Phil.
Sheridan. = In speaking Of this fact
Murat Halstead who is in New York
says:
There has been a good deal of quiet
talk about Sheridan in this connection,
and it has been said that he is not as in
tractable on the subject as General Sher-
man is. 1t may not be improper to say
that people continue to approach Gen,
Sherman with view to bring him out
for the Presidency. and that he leaves
no room to doubt as to the fact that he
prefers not to be bothered, and would
regard the Office itself, could IT be hand.
ed him off a pitchfork, as burden and
bore. One thing that has not been
taken sufficiently into consideration with
reference to General Sherman's attitude
on the presidential question is that the
two men who are dearest to him are his
brother John and James Ct. Blaine
Perhaps IL John and James would unite
on William Tecumseh, they could ge
him on the track, but there are no favor
able signs even for that. Grover Cleve
land can not accuse me of betraying hi
private conversation, for / never have
seen him or heard the sound of hi
voice, but / feel warranted in sayin,
that be has more than once observed
in quarters where he bestows pieces o
his mind, that he thought Sheridan
would be the most dangerous man Il

put in the field"

THE board of trade of New York City
has formulated the following platform
which it thinks takes in about all the
country needs. There is no disputinG
the fact that the political party which
brings about all this demands would be
likely to hold the sympathIes of the
people of the country. There is moth
in it, however, which the Republican
party does not favor and would adopt il
given the proper opportunity:
First-That the bushes men of all par
ties, both protectionists and free-traders
should unite in demanding early actor
by Congress to reduce the present enor
nous revenues in a way to least embar
rass existing industries.
Second-WhiIe desirable to reduce in
ternal taxes, 1t was not desirable Il
abolish the internal revenue system al
whole.
Third That the government should
give subsidies to American steamship
lines.
Fourth-That every legitimate meani
to foster the merchant marine should bC
used, including the enactment of thu
law now pending in Congress, known al
the tonnage bill, applying alike to sal
and steam vessels engaged in foreign
commerce.
Fifth-The necessity of a judicious ma
tional anti-adulteration law.
Sixth--That the internal revenue tai
upon alcohol used in the arts and manu-
features should be abolished.
Seventh-The adoption of a postal tel
egraph system, and to urge its consider
alton upon Congress.
Eighth-The consideration of the sub
iect of commercial union with Canada.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

| The interstate commerce bill ha
proven pleasant surprise to its friends
It's intent is SO equitable, its operation
so smooth, its benefits so obvious tina
the threatened opposition of the grea
carrying corporations has vanished un
der pressure of popular opinion, and il
part, perhaps, under conscientious con
yiction of the merits of the act.
The bill Was professedly tentative. L
was framed, says the Ineer- Ocean, in
obedience to general demand for reg
ulation of freight and passenger traffic
and was passed as a compromise with
two factions, both Democratic, one oi
which desired to leave the growing pow,
ers of the corporations unchecked, while
the others advocated measures which
infringed upon the unquestioned rights
of traders. 1t was acknowledged that
amendments would be required, and il
was feared by some OF its friends that
the most valuable portions of it would
prove Impracticable. There is no longer
room for fear. and the amendments re-
CURED appear to be almost altogether in
the nature of amplifcation. Senator
Cullom, acting upon advice of the Inter
state Commissioners and upon consulta-
ton with large shippers, has already
framed a series of amendments which
can hardly fail of congressional indorse-
ment:
Most important is the amendment
which brings express companies, sleep
ing and palace and drawing-room car
companies, and especially those monop-
olies which like the Standard OIL Com
pany, have furnished themselves with
freight cars, by purchase or rental, and
have evaded the law by hiring motive
power and use of track from the railway
companies. A grave deficiency in the
law is also partially filled by an amend
ment which provides that the Interstate
Commission may, by consent of the de-
PENDANT, asses damages where a COM
plainant alleges injury from overcharge
or as the result of unfavorable discrim-
ination by a carrying company, the
award of the commission is to have the
effect of judgment by a United States
court, and is enforceable by United
States marshal. 1t is questionable
whether the amendment would not be
even more acceptable if it went so far as
to make the commission court absolute,
empowered to adjudge damage on evil
dence, withou special consent OF the
defendant. lac defendants are always
rich and powerful, and, when not In
possession of merltorlous defense, are
always anxious TO delay trial at cost to a
less wealthy complainant.
